OMG Blondie you've started a really good thread about MIL on the 2nd tri page, I've been reading through it (only half way there at the moment)

My MIL has decided that she wants to come over for 2 weeks just like yours has but to be honest with you under the current circumstance's i really can't object, but prevouse to FIL passing away i had to put my foot down, My mum know's this time is completly diffrent as with Courtney i really didn't have that much support with the other half with DH she has said she can reast her mind that all will be ok and she'll leave us to it until we ask her for help, which is a relief.
But with MIL it's diffrent and i know it sound harsh (with everything that is going on) but i really don't want her to be around me in the first 2 weeks and this is simply because i don't want to feel i have to entertain her while George needs me as well, I really do feel i'm going to be knacked by the end of the fortnight, and also delaying a huge part of the bonding process with George, As i know from last time it's not so east just to wip your boob out infront of anyone unless it's DH ( or in some case my Mum)


Has your DH managed to keep up a strong barrier?

whats wrong with cloth nappies tho? I'm going to use them this time It'staken 6 weeks of research but I think i've found the ones i want.

for you hunny

Caitlenc, Blondies right about the fluttering, It's so fast that you don't release it happened, The best way to feel it I've found is to lie on the bed flat on your back (oh doesn't it sound like the TTCing thread again ) with no sound and just wait a little, Babies tend to do more moving at night than during the day (apparently) so may be when you've gone to bed. honestly hun for the first few days you'll think you have imagined it good luck and keep us posted

Hay hun, I'm really glad it's eased off for you, When i was expecting Courtney i bleed for the first 6 months and all was fine chick she's a healthy 9 year old now,

but it's natural to worrie bloody hell look at me i must to be the worst for worrying

But you've said it before your sure this is a sticky one and there's no better reassurance all is well than the instinces (sp?) mother nature gave us!

you must be on tho as the days go on.

Tori - DH has MIL under control for now -he understands exactly why I don't want her there luckily Just need to keep her at bay but I've told DH if she turns up I'm booking myself into a hotel

Hopefully by time baby arrives things will have settled down with your MIL and you will be able to reach a compromise about visits. Must be tough at the moment but hopefully in the coming months everything will settle down. I used the whipping my boobs out in front of his mum excuse with him aswell

the hotel thing i have got to use!!

Hi Girls!

Welcome Eternal!

Thanks for the advice on movement, girls...still not totally sure I felt the seahorse yet, but will keep you posted!

Thankfully, I don't have the MIL problem, as she's in the UK and hates to fly...we will take the seahorse over to see them in February, we think.

Flowertot, brown cm is usually absolutely normal and fine, and Blondie is right about the symptoms, they come and go all the time, so try not to worry too much (I know that's impossible).

My next Doctor appointment is next week, but just a quick check...it will be strange not getting a scan this time, we have to wate until 20 weeks now to see bubs again!

Hope all you lovely ladies have a great day!

My 16 week midwife appointment is next week aswell Caitlenc (funny that ) - Hoping I will get to hear a heartbeat (Good job DH won't be there as he is freaked out by heartbeats )

20 week scan will be on 3rd July so only another month to wait - I'm so impatient, if I could afford an ultrasound machine I think I'd buy one

Well i have a 16 week scan on the 10th which i'm very excited about DH looked amused when i told him as we have already had 2 private ones

and I'm waiting very patiently for my Hi Bebe to arrive bloody slow DHL is taking for ever and i need to leave at 3 (i bet any money it comes when i'm out) think i may if it doesn't come soon lol

Aw, I hope it comes soon, Tori! I love mine, I use it a lot now that I can find the HB so easily!

I'd love to have a doppler but DH has such a fear of heartbeats it just wouldn't work. God knows what he will be like when I'm in labour if they have both mine and babies heartbeats on a monitor - he would probably have to leave the room and lie down
